The Massachusetts written knowledge test will be a 25-minute timed test based on the 2018 Massachusetts Driver’s Manual. You’ll need to answer at least 18 of 25 questions correctly to pass and qualify for your permit. Potential drivers 16 or older may apply for their permit, as long as they can provide proof of identity, residence, and signature, and a permit application that must be signed by a parent if you’re a minor. You’re also required to take a vision test and pay a $30 permit fee. If you’re not able to pass your test on the first try, you’ll need to pay the testing fee again on each attempt. Your exam will be offered at a local RMV office on an automated testing system in English or Spanish, or in over 20 other languages with a non-computerized test. While your official exam contains 25 multiple-choice questions, this marathon RMV practice test consists of all 150 of our practice test questions to help you study every type of question and the entire driver’s manual. As this test is in marathon format, the test will not end until you’ve correctly answered every question in the exam.
